There's also the alternative "grills" vs. bouys" pair.

Instead of destroying the universe, can we destroy prior, failed shuffle/check iterations to retain o(1)? Then we wouldn't have to reload all of creation into RAM.

It's hard to explain. A lot of it is about vibes and focus over the last several years.

  1. There's a popular suspicion that, rather than fixing issues, Dems allowed them to persist so they could campaign on them during an election year.
  2. Dems' platform in 2016 was: Hillary's more competent. In 2020: Trump's a menace. In 2024: Trump's a menace. Meanwhile, people cared more about putting food on the table, not dying of the plague, and war crimes. Sure, welfare was part of Dems plans and platform, but it weren't the core message.
  3. Related to #2, people felt unheard, ignored, and taken for granted. We've been losing faith in a 2-party system, where neither side has to be good, they just have to threaten that the other side is worse. Well, wehn people feel they have nothing to lose, they put a bull in the china shop and hope they wind up on top when the dust settles.

Bernie's being a bit harsh in saying Dems didn't try. Republicans blocked their efforts. But there's also a feeling that they didn't care all that much. At the end of the day, they're career politicians, padding their pockets with corporate donations while demanding starving citizens vote for them because the other guy would be somewhat less palatable. And I guess Trump's honesty about being apathetic and money-grubbing is more appealing than Dems' feigned innocence and solidarity.

Reminds me of the Reboot hotel offices.

No, it just goes to its extraction point! ...somehow.

As a longtime Plex user, I also hate their lack of focus and tendancy to priorotize bad features (like paid streaming and VR). But this one feels more like a way to re-focus on video by removing photo code from the main (video) app's codebase, making it easier to maintain.

So basically, it's a poorly marketed $40 game facing a lot of free and popular competition.

Honk if you have ever been personally victimized by HONK!

For LLMs, I've had really good results running Llama 3 in the Open Web UI docker container on a Nvidia Titan X (12GB VRAM).

For image generation tho, I agree more VRAM is better, but the algorithms still struggle with large image dimensions, ao you wind up needing to start small and iterarively upscale, which afaik works ok on weaker GPUs, but will gake problems. (I've been using the Automatic 1111 mode of the Stable Diffusion Web UI docker project.)

I'm on thumbs so I don't have the links to the git repos atm, but you basically clone them and run the docker compose files. The readmes are pretty good!

It was branded Rockman EXE in Japan, and NT Warrior (i.e. Net Warrior) in the US anime, only. The "network" refers to the internet and the internet of things heavily featured in the games, in which you battle viruses; hence "Battle Network."

Key quote:

To say that “political violence” has “no place” in a society organized by political violence at home and abroad is to acquiesce to the normalization of that violence, so long as it is state and capitalist monopolized.

3 sticks of RAM...

 

A related article indicates Prigozhin claims this is not a coup; that his claims of being shelled by Russia haven't been substantiated; that he also criticized Putin a day ago.

 

I bought my Logitech G533 a year and a half ago. Had decent reviews, and I got it new for a reasonable price on eBay. Two days ago, the mic broke, and I discovered it's a known issue (Reddit link) since 5 years ago. But, I thought, clearly this would be covered by its two-year warranty! Doesn't even require a receipt if you just need a replacement! So naturally the rep says:

  1. The warranty applies from date of manufacturer unless you have a receipt to prove date of purchase.
  2. They won't accept a receipt from eBay, as eBay's not a licensed reseller, and they consider the new, in box item "second hand."
  3. They'd love to help me, but there's simply nothing they can do 🙂

Yes, fucking emoji and all. So I'm typing up a complaint to my state consumer protection agency and spreading the word not to trust Logitech more than you can throw them.

Is this standard? Probably. Should it be? Hell no.

At this point, might try to repair it myself; but I'll likely be out another $100 for my second headset in as many years.
